  • Abstract:
    The Central Puget Sound Region includes Seattle, Washington and the counties of King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish – a total of more than 4.3 million people. The region is home to a diverse population; people of color make up 37 percent of residents, about 20 percent of the population is low-income, and 340,000 people have limited English proficiency. Like elsewhere in the country, historical systems of inequality and structural racism have led to equity-related gaps and disparities among different groups of people and communities in the Seattle area. For years, individuals, community groups, local leaders, and practitioners in the Puget Sound region have been aware of these existing disparities and equity gaps but have lacked the data and analytical tools to fully and systematically address these issues and assess the efficacy of equity-related interventions. The Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) serves as the Seattle Region’s Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and is responsible for a broad portfolio for policy development and decision-making coordination for regional growth management, transportation, and economic development. This includes administering the long-range regional growth and transportation planning processes and supporting local governments in the region on economic development, short-term projects pertaining to transportation improvements, and more. As a result, PSRC is well positioned to effectively address interconnected issues and prioritize equity through long-range comprehensive planning and regional transportation planning.
